Ingredients:
- 2 lb. Southern-style frozen hashbrowns
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup frozen peas and carrots
- 2 cups sour cream
- ½ cup canned corn, drained
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 3 cups shredded chicken
- ⅓ cup milk
- 2 cups bread crumbs
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
- Preheat Your Oven: Start by heating your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. This high temperature is perfect for getting a crispy topping on your casserole.
- Prepare the Baking Dish: Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish and spread the frozen hashbrowns evenly across the bottom. The hashbrowns form a crispy base as they cook.
- Mix the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, frozen peas and carrots, sour cream, drained corn, cream of chicken soup, shredded chicken, and milk. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Stir everything together until well combined. This creamy mixture will create a rich and flavorful filling for your casserole.
- Assemble the Casserole: Pour the chicken and vegetable mixture over the hashbrowns in the baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Add the Topping: Sprinkle the bread crumbs over the top of the casserole. They’ll add a delightful crunch and golden color as they bake.
- Bake: Place the casserole in the oven and bake it for about 1 hour. You’re looking for the topping to turn golden brown and the edges to bubble, indicating everything is hot and cooked through.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once baked, let the casserole sit for a few minutes before serving. This allows it to set slightly, making it easier to serve.
